Authenticity

[sylar]

*Some of these concepts and ideas are from RSD's Blueprint Decoded - absolutely mind blowing, I will post about it later*

A lot of people in this community, especially people that lean towards Mystery Method/Indirect game(such as myself), really embrace the idea of having different personalities and different characters in different situations. The polar opposite of this style of thinking is AUTHENTICITY - where you are always being yourself, not an AFC but a charismatic person with value to offer. I am not going to tell you that you have to be COMPLETELY authentic in EVERY way ALL the time, but ultimately, this is a more ideal place to be, and I will get to why that is.

Don't get me wrong, I still think that there is a lot of merit to the idea of different personalities but there are two major traps about this way of thinking that you MUST be aware of. If you find yourself having difficulty being authentic with people on a consistant basis in a setting such as school, pay extra attention.


1.) It is almost impossible to develop TRUE self-esteem while in character

Your self-esteem is based on how you feel about YOURSELF, not how much of a pimp you think one of your characters is. Understand that your character's success WILL make you feel good, hell you may feel great, but that's because your ego is being fed, not your self-esteem. I could write for days as to why your self-esteem is more important than your ego, so just trust me (or watch the Blueprint Decoded ).

2.) Excessive use of characters implies to others and to yourself that you do not think women will like you just for YOU

Every school has that tough guy or that obnoxious guy that is always putting on a show for people. It is generally accepted that these people are not confident with themselves and that they have other issues deep down. Have you ever considered that the same may be true for your special PUA identity? This identity may help you achieve success with women, but it will foster the belief that you are not good enough on your own, a belief that will make your inner game crumble.


If anything in this post has really hit home, I really suggest going out there and trying to be as authentic as possible. It will take some calibration but in the end you will be much better for it. And if this interests you, I fully reccommend that you check out The Blueprint Decoded, the best PUA product on the market.

Yeah I think a lot of the character creating stems out of the thought that you, as yourself, isn't good enough. Then again, a lot of people act as themselves and get turned down anyway. It shouldn't be 'be yourself'. It should be 'be all you can be'. It's hard, it's way easier to just create some false mask to put on. You'd probably get results faster.

But so what? The point of life isn't tricking as many things as you can into your life, it's to be all you can be. If you don't do that, does it really matter (in a universal sense)? Well, no. If you do, does it matter? Again, no. But look around, everything in existence is being the best it can be. We're the only things on the planet that can make the choice not to be. But we're also the only things on the planet that can experience what it's like to be all we can be. A rock doesn't know, it can't feel what it's like. We can though, and that feeling is the feeling of ultimate personal fulfillment. I went on a little bit of a tangent there, oops haha. I hope someone will get a little out of it though. So yeah, being good enough to get a quality woman is an intrinsic ability of all men. You can only really get there by being all you can be though, think of women as the universes reward for you for being all you can be. Not the objective, but a reward. Like a trophy when you win a race. Only an idiot runs a race to get a piece of metal, people are there to be all they can be. So be all you can, you don't need masks. Lol sylar man, my bad about the tangent.

lol man don't worry about it, it was good

Yeah I absolutely understand why "Be Yourself" on its own is terrible advice, the purpose of the post was more about the pitfalls of excessive character use, perhaps I could have communicated that better.

I think that rather than creating a totally new character, it's really just emphasizing your best qualities in one little tiny package. Because if you create a totally new identity that isn't who you really are in some way or another, the girl will sense the incongruency and blow you off.

Oooh yeah definitely check out BluePrint Decoded. Such a good inner game program. Niiiice post. +1.

Authenticity refers to the truthfulness of origins, attributions, commitments, sincerity, devotion, and intentions.

Authenticity or Authentic may refer to:

* Authentication, having passed the tests thereof
* Authenticity (philosophy), a particular way of dealing with the external world, being faithful to internal rather than external ideas
* Authenticity in art, either nominal or expressive
* Authentic performance refers to a movement in classical music also known as historically informed performance
* Authenticity (reenactment), in historical reenactment, a measure of how close an item, prop, action, weapon, or custom is, to what would actually have been used or done in the time period being depicted

Speed tests & ping tests.

In one of his posts at IBF, he gave up speedtest & ping test results of…..of Hayai broadband! Well, service never launched, still he was “able to” get speed & ping test results. If you observe speedtest.net badges as shown on that page, you will see Network is always HNS – Honesty Net Solutions – nothing related to Hayai.

He just claims that they are his partners, but just misleads users telling them speed test result of Hayai broadband and while in real they are just of a server placed in a datacenter. If anyone want, we would be happy to post speedtest result of TelecomTalk.info server placed in Planet Datacenter!
